My first year on Hive, I always looked at those Leo active users as gurus and I felt it will be a great milestone to achieve if I could make at least one post that fits to Leofinance. Leofinance was one of those many communities I thought I wouldn't be able to break into if I don't join Hive power ups since that was the only kind of posts that seem easy for me to share to the community.
And then, I get it a lot from friends when they are like "Crypto and finance writing isn't easy at all, that community is for the strong in that aspect" π I can't believe I actually agreed to that back then. I still get some little reaction from newbies mostly that it's hard to post to this community.
At a point, I decided to join just the engagement game going on in the community. The Admin of the community made it even more rewarding when he said he will gift 100 Leo tokens to whoever beats him on the engagement league... I won that prize twice back then.
All that engagement made me realize that the community isn't as complicated as I had thought. There are so much one can do in the community and still have fun with it.
You can start by engaging with Leo authors
They never stop to give updates on things you may have never been aware of. But here's a problem you might encounter just like me back then... You tend to not understand some things they write about π but that is why there is a comment section below, ask a question, disturb them and they'll definitely put you through. I've done that a lot back then... Tested and trusted.
Engaging with the community user will give you an insight to what you can write about and you'd be shocked that there are a whole lot of things to write about and you'll get attention to yourself especially from Leo.voter.
You know very little about crypto? Share that little
Leofinance may look like a community for polished cryptomaniac but it is also a welcoming community for newbies who wants to be cryptomaniac in the future. You can't be a guru immediately, you have to start from somewhere. Write the little you know, share it and gradually, you'd be good at it.
Crypto is very wide and I want to believe that you know how to find out how wide it is, you have your search to show you wide variety of topics under cryptocurrency and its environs.
You know little about finances and goals, share those little
You could actually know more than you think about this aspect because we spend money everyday, we experience inflation, we set goals and lose in some while we win some. All that can be shared in the Leofinance for guidance to yourself or help to another reading it.
You don't have to write a thousand words posts to share in the community, just show some efforts (your thinking efforts is one too) and show it in texts, ask questions, answer questions, share how you grow your finances, someone might be learning.
Most importantly, never stop researching and learning
I think this is the part that helped me a lot in this community especially since I started to enter for contests, their tasks seem difficult at first but when I put my mind to learn about it, do some research... I'm so good to go and I just do.
I can proudly say, I'm not where I used to be in this community and I'm growing my tokens alongside... I keep getting better and I want others to know that it isn't so difficult to write on Leofinance, you too can do it!
